INTRODUCTORY 


The  Class  of  '93  as  an  organization  ceased  to  exist  ten  years 
ago,  and  although  an  alumni  association  of  the  class  has  been 
maintained  since  that  time,  what  has  been  accomplished  by  it 
can  be  told  in  a  few  words.  The  Decennial  Record  is  there- 
fore chiefly  a  compendium  of  the  individual  records  of  its 
members,  the  component  parts  of  the  class.  The  interest  of 
this  little  book  thus  depends  primarily  upon  the  individual 
achievements  of  the  members.  Then  if  they  have  done  any- 
thing, whether  they  have  disclosed  it  to  the  committee.  Finally 
if  both  these  premises  are  in  the  affirmative,  whether  they  hav6 
made  disclosures  concerning  themselves  sufficiently  detailed 
for  our  purposes.  If  all  these  conditions  are  fulfilled  we  are  the 
medium  of  mutual  confidences  between  the  members,  and  our 
chief  purpose  is  accomplished. 

As  to  the  class  itself.  Hulburd  has  presided  over  its  desti- 
nies during  the  past  five  years  to  our  satisfaction  and  no  doubt 
to  his  own,  and  has  been  re-elected  president  for  the  ensuing 
year.  Annual  suppers,  held  in  pursuance  of  the  constitution 
adopted  at  our  graduation,  have  been  agreeable  and  well  at- 
tended reunions.  The  most  noteworthy  event  during  the  past 
five  years  was  the  presenting  of  a  memorial  gate  to  the  Univer- 
sity. It  was  designed  by  two  members  of  the  class,  E.  P. 
Bissell  and  W.  C.  Hays,  and  forms  a  beautiful  entrance  from 
Spruce  Street  to  the  college  campus.  Great  credit  is  due  not 
only  to  the  designers,  but  to  the  committee  through  whose 
efforts  the  necessary  money  for  its  construction  was  raised.  The 
dedicatory  exercises  were  impressive  and  a  feature  of  alumni 
day.  It  may  be  parenthetically  said  that  those  of  the  class  who 
stayed  away  from  the  celebration  in  and  about  the  dormitories 
on  the  evening  of  alumni  day  deprived  themselves  of  a  most 

(5) 


joyous  time.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  arrangements  will  be  made 
for  '93  to  take  part  every  year,  and  if  this  is  done  every  one  who 
was  there  this  year  will  require  an  unsunnountable  obstacle  to 
keep  him  away  in  the  future. 

As  to  the  individual  members  of  the  class,  the  committee 
takes  pride  in  having  secured  information  from  144  of  them,  as 
compared  with  110  who  responded  to  the  questions  sent  out  five 
years  ago.  This  was  accomplished  in  some  cases  through 
repeated  letters,  and  in  not  a  few  by  personal  visits  or  by  tele- 
phone. This  co-operation  by  the  men  is  not  only  gratifying, 
but  indispensable  in  the  preparation  of  a  satisfactory  book. 

Of  the  183  men  who  matriculated  in  our  class  173  are 
still  living.  About  ten  did  not  receive  the  questions  mailed  to 
their  last  known  addresses.  Of  the  remaining  twenty  the 
majority  remained  with  the  class  a  very  short  time,  and  have 
consequently  but  little  affiliation  with  it.  We  therefore  feel  that 
the  record  is  as  nearly  complete  as  may  be. 

Eighty-three  of  those  who  have  responded  are  married, 
sixty-one  are  unmarried.  Three  have  received  degrees  during 
the  past  five  years,  and  thirteen  showed  their  patriotism  by 
fighting  the  Spaniards  in  1898.  Twenty-seven  have  entered 
the  field  of  literature,  chiefly  in  contributions  on  technical 
subjects,  and  ten  have  held  political  office  of  some  kind.  There 
are  twenty-four  lawyers,  fifteen  manufacturers,  fourteen  teachers, 
twelve  doctors,  eleven  engineers,  eleven  bankers  and  brokers, 
eight  clergymen,  six  civil  engineers,  seven  journalists,  four 
architects,  three  insurance  brokers,  two  railroad  men,  one 
farmer.  Twenty-two  may  be  included  in  that  comprehensive 
category  "  business,"  and  four  will  acknowledge  no  occupation. 

For  ten,  their  life's  record  has  been  closed,  six  during  the  last 
five  years  :  Mclntyre;  Miller,  Houseman,  Spencer,  Weightman  and 
Heraty.     Mclntyre  had  been  engaged  in  teaching  at  the  Philadel- 


phia  High  School,  and  shortly  before  his  death  accepted  a 
position  as  teacher  in  the  Hill  School.  He  did  not  live  to  fill 
it,  and  died  in  August,  1900.  He  was  a  man  of  conspicuous 
talents,  and,  his  personal  qualities  having  made  for  him  many 
friends,  his  loss  is  much  felt.  Dayton  Miller,  who  left  the  class 
at  the  end  of  freshman  year,  was  secretary  of  a  Virginia  Coal 
Company.  While  fulfilling  a  duty  of  his  office  he  was  shot 
and  killed  by  a  drunken  negro.  He  died  courageously- 
Houseman  chose  the  ministry  as  his  profession  and,  never  strong 
in  health,  his  career  was  ended  while  he  was  still  at  its  thresh- 
old. Spencer  is  an  encouraging  example  taken  from  a  race 
which  is  causing  much  national  anxiety.  He  gained  con- 
siderable success  as  a  chemist,  and  with  it  the  confidence  and 
approval  of  his  employers.  Weightman  and  Heraty  both  died 
during  the  past  year. 

In  general  outline  we  have  followed  the  record  published 
in  1898.  A  short  statement  concerning  each  member  of  the 
class  compiled  from  the  data  received  from  the  men  themselves  : 
an  article  on  the  University  from  1898  to  1903 :  chapters  upon 
the  chief  occupations  pursued  by  the  various  members  of  the 
class.  The  committee  is  glad  to  have  an  opportunity  to  publish 
the  excellent  speech  delivered  by  John  Cadwalader,  Jr.,  at  the 
dedication  of  the  memorial  gate,  and  the  graceful  poem  read 
by  George  Johnson  on  the  same  occasion. 

The  Chairman  of  the  Record  Committee,  who  has  been 
chosen  class  recorder,  requests  of  the  members  who  read  this 
book  information  concerning  those  who  have  not  responded. 
He  also  desires  to  acknowledge  with  much  thanks  the  assistance 
given  in  preparing  this  book  by  T.  H.  Montgomery,  Jr.,  J.  N. 
Henry,  A.  M.  Greene,  Jr.,  F.  H.  Lee,  W.  Y.  C.  Anderson,  R.  S. 
Elliot,  G.  Johnson,  E.  P.  Bissell.

PENNSYLVANIA,  1898-1903 


III  a  book  known  for  its  rhythmic  beauty,  "  La  Vie  de 
I'Abeille,"  Maeterlinck  has  pointed  out,  what  naturahsts  had 
failed  to  observe,  the  mystery  and  strength  of  the  "  spirit  of  the 
hive."  As  the  spirit  of  the  hive  to  the  colony  of  bees,  is  the 
spirit  of  the  University  to  its  sons.  The  universities  of  Ger- 
many stand  for  research,  as  those  of  Great  Britain  for  broad 
culture  and  good-fellowship.  Pennsylvania  combines  all  these 
ideas,  and  the  spirit  of  its  hive  of  workers  is  the  happy  blending 
of  culture,  comradeship,  and  investigation.  She  has  long  since 
passed  the  stage  when  she  ranked  as  a  small  College  attached  to 
a  large  Medical  School,  and  is  now  a  University  in  the  broadest 
sense  of  the  term.  The  massacre  of  the  drones  has  commenced, 
all  her  men  are  workers ;  and  the  good  Provost,  as  the  queen, 
states  his  policy  :  "  The  University  of  Pennsylvania  occupies 
a  very  peculiar  position  of  advantage  and  opportunity  for  the 
development  of  college  life  and  college  spirit,  and  I  hope  that 
we  may  never  forget  that  the  countersign  of  our  University's 
success  is  to  be  the  word  College.  It  is  not  necessary  for  me  to 
call  to  mind  that  our  reputation  rests  not  only  upon  our  material 
growth,  but  upon  our  place  in  the  scientific  effort  of  the  world." 

When  the  Class  of  '93  graduated  there  were  no  students' 
club,  no  dormitories,  no  close  bonds  between  the  students  of 
different  disciplines.  Now  more  than  five  hundred  students  are 
housed  in  the  dormitories  and  live  there  "in  allerGemuthlichkeit;" 
and  the  students  of  all  departments  meet  together  in  the  Houston 
Club.  These  two  institutions  have  unified  the  student  life,  and 
broadened  Class  spirit  into  University  spirit,  without  lessening 

(64) 


65 

the  feeling  of  loyalty  to  the  Class ;  for  men  do  not  work  and 
play  for  several  years  shoulder  to  shoulder  without  remember- 
ing it  as  a  precious  tie. 

That  even  with  much  greater  opportunities  for  specialization 
than  ever  before,  there  is  still  maintained  the  idea  of  broad 
culture,  is  shown  very  positively  in  the  heightening  of  the 
entrance  requirements  for  all  the  departments.  More  men  enter 
who  have  already  had  some  college  training.  Another  effect  is 
that  the  men  are  now  older,  and  so  better  fitted  to  elect  their 
courses  of  study  and  to  make  judicious  use  of  them.  Then  more 
students  go  into  the  professional  schools  with  the  degree  of 
B.  A. ;  this  is  particularly  so  in  the  case  of  the  Medical  School, 
where  in  this  year's  class  fully  fifty  per  cent,  have  this  degree. 
In  the  days  of  '93  few  of  the  men  in  this  department  came  with 
more  than  a  school  training.  Now  our  young  physicians  have 
had  a  broad  experience  before  their  medical  course,  they  graduate 
older  and  take  the  first  rank  in  the  State  examinations ;  and 
being  men  of  maturer  jvidgment,  in  their  early  practice  no 
longer  deal  death  far  and  wide.  Thoroughness  and  breadth  are 
being  aimed  for  and  secured  in  all  lines  of  the  University's  work. 

The  third  great  element  in  Pennsylvania's  spirit  is  the 
atmosphere  of  research,  and  Pennsylvania's  sons  may  well  be 
proud  of  her  progress  in  this  direction.  Professors  and  graduate 
students  are  no  longer  estimated  by  their  learning,  but  by  the  use 
they  make  of  this  knowledge  in  investigation.  We  of  '93  can 
all  remember  when  there  was  hardly  a  graduate  student,  and 
when  few  of  the  Faculty  were  prominent  in  publication.  There 
is  not  only  the  opportunity  for  research,  but  the  fruits  of  it,  and 
what  is  still  greater,  the  growth  of  the  passionate  hunger  for 
discovery.  It  has  come  to  be  recognized  that  the  teacher  who 
has  the  greatest  inflvience  over  the  student  mind  is  not  the  old- 
fashioned  scholar,  with  a  wealth  of  memory,  but  the  new  scholar 


66 

with  an  international  reputation  by  his  scientific  writings.  The 
credit  for  this  is  due  very  largely  to  greater  care  in  the  selection 
of  men  for  Faculty  positions,  and  to  the  growth  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Philosophy.  The  latter  embraces  the  graduate  work  of 
all  the  departments  of  the  College,  was  re-organized  in  1886, 
and  gave  the  first  doctor  of  philosophy  degree  in  1889.  At  the 
Commencement  of  1903  thirty  doctors  were  graduated.  The 
requirements  for  study  for  this  degree  are  fully  as  high  as  in  any 
American  university  ;  each  thesis,  which  epitomizes  the  work  of 
the  major  subject,  must  be  a  piece  of  research  of  high  value, 
worthy  of  publication  in  any  scientific  journal.  Often  the 
doctor's  thesis  is  the  best  work  a  man  publishes  in  the  course  of 
his  life,  for  he  puts  upon  it  the  greater  part  of  three  years,  and 
is  aided  by  the  advice  of  men  who  are  authorities  in  that  par- 
ticular field.  The  published  work  of  the  Faculty  during  the 
past  year  amounted  to  more  than  three  hundred  scientific  books 
and  memoirs,  with  Medicine,  Zoology,  and  Finance  and  Economy 
occupying  the  first  three  positions.  Some  of  the  research  is  in 
foreign  exploration,  as  the  notable  discoveries  of  Dr.  Hilprecht 
in  Babylonia,  and  of  Dr.  Peters  in  Egypt.  All  this  has  an  eff'ect 
upon  teaching  methods  :  students  are  no  longer  referred  to  text- 
books but  to  original  sources  and  to  laboratory  experiment  and 
observation. 

The  aid  to  poor  students  is  greater  than  ever  before. 
Besides  some  126  free  scholarships,  there  are  29  fellowships. 
Of  the  latter,  three  have  the  annual  value  of  $200,  three  of  $225, 
one  of  $300,  sixteen  of  |500,  one  of  $600,  and  five  of  $800.  In 
the  matter  of  fellowships  that  are  well  paid  and  without  any 
conditions,  Pennsylvania  takes  the  first  or  second  place  among 
American  universities. 

And  now  to  pass  from  the  spirit  to  the  substance.  The 
last  year  was  financially  the  best  in  the  history  of  the  University, 


67 

and  about  one  million  dollars  came  into  her  treasury.  The 
largest  single  item  in  this  account  was  the  bequest  of  real 
estate  to  the  value  of  ^481,000  by  Mr.  Joseph  M.  Bennett,  for 
the  purpose  of  the  higher  education  of  women,  and  for  the 
erection  of  a  building  to  this  end,  to  be  placed  on  the  south 
side  of  Walnut  street  east  of  Thirty-fourth.  The  same  year  Mr. 
Joseph  Wharton  increased  the  endowment  of  the  Wharton 
School  to  $500,000,  and  promised  in  addition  the  erection  of  a 
new  building  for  this  department  (on  Woodland  avenue,  oppo- 
site the  Wistar  Institute).  The  notable  buildings  added  to  the 
University  since  1898  are  the  following :  The  Law  School 
Building,  architecturally  tlie  most  beautiful  of  them  all,  was 
dedicated  22d  February,  1900,  and  built  at  a  cost  of  nearly 
$400,000 ;  it  is  at  the  corner  of  Thirty-fourth  and  Chestnut 
streets,  and  has  recently  acquired  a  broad  tract  of  land  immedi- 
ately to  the  west.  The  Museum  of  Science  and  Art,  on  South 
street  opposite  Franklin  Field,  was  opened  28th  December,  1899; 
the  present  building,  erected  at  a  cost  of  |1389,000,  represents 
only  one  wing  of  the  proposed  completed  museum.  The 
Memorial  Tower  of  the  Dormitories,  at  Thirty-seventh  street  and 
Woodland  avenue,  was  raised  to  the  honor  of  the  Pennsylvania 
men  who  served  during  the  Spanish  war ;  it  was  completed  in 
1900,  at  a  cost  of  $240,000.  Up  to  the  present  time  more  than 
|600,000  have  been  expended  upon  the  Dormitories ;  they  now 
accommodate  525  students,  and  their  government  is  practically 
in  the  hands  of  the  students.  The  Laboratory  of  Physics  was 
finished  in  1901,  at  a  cost  of  $250,000  ;  it  is  placed  on  Thirty- 
fourth  street  north  of  the  Laboratory  of  Hygiene.  The  Vivarium 
of  the  Department  of  Zoology  was  finished  in  1898,  a  separate 
building  placed  just  to  the  west  of  Biological  Hall ;  this 
contains  salt-water  aquaria,  the  water  brought  from  fifty  miles 
off"  the  New  Jersey  coast,  fresh  water  aquaria,  and  good  facilities 


68 

for  keeping  small  terrestrial  animals.  Finally  a  number  of 
greenhouses,  built  at  various  times  and  now  numbering  about 
twelve,  are  attached  to  the  south  side  of  Biological  Hall. 

The  new  Laboratory  of  Pathology,  Physiology  and  Pharma- 
cology is  in  course  of  erection,  and  may  be  nearly  completed 
before  next  October,  on  the  site  of  the  former  buildings  of  the 
Veterinary  Department ;  its  total  cost  will  be  about  $600,000, 
the  most  costly  of  all  the  University  buildings.  The  old  Veteri- 
nary buildings  were  torn  down  to  make  room  for  it,  and  the 
Veterinary  department  now  occupies  a  temporary  building  at 
Thirty-ninth  and  Woodland  avenue,  on  ground  that  the  Univer- 
sity has  secured.  The  contract  has  just  been  given  out  for  the 
long-desired  Gymnasium,  between  Franklin  Field  and  the  Dental 
Hall;  it  will  cost  about  $400,000.  This  building  is  due  to  the  united 
labors  of  the  Athletic  Committee  and  alumni ;  and  soon  Penn- 
sylvania will  have  the  best  gymnasium  in  the  land,  as  it  has 
already  the  best  athletic  field.  The  plans  for  a  new  building 
for  Engineering  are  nearly  completed,  and  for  that  too  ground 
will  be  soon  broken.  The  new  building  for  the  Wharton  School 
has  been  mentioned,  and  important  additions  have  been  made 
to  the  Hospital.  The  Wistar  Institute  has  acquired  from  the 
city  the  whole  triangular  piece  of  ground  on  which  the  police 
station  is.  The  city  recognizes,  then,  that  the  University  need 
not  be  policed !  The  students  have  erected  two  very  artistic 
fraternity  houses  upon  the  north  side  of  Woodland  avenue, 
opposite  the  University  grounds. 

Pennsylvania  has  now  twenty-nine  buildings  (without  count- 
ing certain  small  adjuncts),  two  that  are  in  process  of  erection, 
and  two  that  will  be  soon  commenced;  when  '93  were  Freshmen 
there  were  just  seven  buildings. 

The  Library  has  had  a  steady  growth.  In  1898  there  were 
about  160,000  volumes,  and  since  then  about  100,000  more  have 


69 

been  added,  and  all  are  now  catalogued  by  the  modern  system. 
An  important  departure  has  been  the  formation  of  department 
libraries,  outside  of  the  main  Library  building ;  there  are  thir- 
teen of  these,  the  Zoological  being  the  largest,  and  they  allow 
the  freest  use  of  the  books  in  the  laboratories.  Seminary  libraries 
have  also  been  established  in  particular  alcoves  of  the  Library 
building.  A  long  list  of  exchanges,  about  three  thousand 
annually,  are  received  in  return  for  the  University  publications ; 
in  this  way  are  secured  all  the  dissertations  of  foreign  univer- 
sities, and  many  scientific  monographs  and  periodicals. 

The  Museum  has  some  very  important  reference  collections, 
of  which  the  Babylonian  material  is  already  famous.  Its  other 
strong  collections  are  ethnological  material  from  Borneo,  Japan 
and  Egypt,  and  a  large  series  illustrative  of  the  American 
Indians. 

Very  radical  changes  have  been  made  in  the  curriculum. 
In  the  College  department  a  student  may  now  take  his  degree 
in  three,  four  or  five  years,  according  to  his  wishes  and  abilities  J 
and  in  the  near  future,  consequently,  the  old,  time-favored 
designations  "freshman,"  "sophomore,"  "junior"  and  "senior" 
will  be  names  of  the  past.  The  old  course  system  was  replaced 
by  the  group  system  (in  the  College  the  student  selecting  any 
one  of  fourteen  groups),  and  the  latter  now  by  a  nearly  free 
elective  system,  subject  only  to  the  judgment  of  advisory  com- 
mittees. By  a  composite  year  of  academical  and  medical  subjects 
a  student  may  take  the  B.  A.  and  M.  D.  degrees  in  seven  years. 
Next  fall  the  Dental  Department  will  lengthen  its  course  to  four 
years ;  this  is  the  strongest  Dental  School  in  the  world. 

There  have  been  gathered  to  their  fathers  the  following 
Professors,  held  in  tender  memory  by  '93 :  Ex-Provosts  Stille 
and  Pepper ;  Harrison  Allen,  George  H.  Horn,  E.  Otis  Kendall, 
Daniel  G.  Brinton,  Edward  D.  Cope,  John  Ashhurst,  Jr.,  Fred- 


70 

erick  A.  Packard,  Charles  J.  Essig,  William  P.  Norris,  Francis 
A.  Jackson  (who  taught  since  1855),  James  Parsons,  Dr.  DaCosta. 
There  are  now  281  officers  of  instruction ;  some  of  these  have 
occupied  prominent  public  positions  on  the  Isthmian  Canal 
Commission,  the  Legal  and  Educational  Boards  of  Porto  Rico ; 
and  a  Trustee  is  now  Governor  of  the  State. 

"Pomp,"  the  most  courteous  of  the  Faculty,  has  become 
older  but  no  less  agile ;  he  happily  recovered  from  a  severe 
illness  this  spring,  and  still  carries  about  yellow  envelopes  and 
promises  "to  report." 

The  last  count  of  the  students  showed  2,578,  a  slight  falling 
off  from  previous  years  due  to  the  raising  of  the  entrance 
requirements.  The  number  of  graduate  students  (in  the  College) 
is  191.  Of  the  student  publications  there  are  still  maintained 
the  daily  "  Pennsylvanian,"  and  the  monthly  "  Red  and  Blue;" 
there  have  been  added  the  "Punch  Bowl"  (monthly,  and  filling 
the  place  once  held  by  "Chaff"  and  "Ben  Franklin"),  the 
"  Penn  Dental  Journal  "  (quarterly)  and  the  "Alumni  Register." 
The  Alumni  Associations  have  strengthened  in  number  and 
effectiveness ;  besides  the  larger  societies  representing  the  gradu- 
ates of  the  College,  and  of  the  departments  of  Medicine,  Veteri- 
nary Medicine,  Dentistry,  Law,  Alumni  clubs  have  been  estab- 
lished in  a  number  of  other  cities.  "  The  Mask  and  Wig  Club  " 
continues  to  produce  an  annual  play,  always  with  great  success ; 
and  in  1899  there  was  started  in  conjunction  with  Haverford, 
Swarthmore  and  Bryn  Mawr,  the  "  Cercle  Frangaise,"  which 
annually  renders  a  French  play.  Another  Greek  play  has  been 
given.  Of  new  student  societies  may  be  mentioned  the  "Penn- 
sylvania Union,"  a  debating  club;  and  the  University  Band, 
which  is  very  effective  at  all  the  games. 

Pennsylvania  has  entered  vigorously  upon  her  new  life,  and 
now  as  never  before  realizes  that  it  is  men  that  make  a  great 


71 

university.  The  professors  must  be  broad  and  scientific  doers, 
not  mere  accumulators  and  teachers,  and  they  must  hand  over 
this  programme  to  their  scholars.  This  progress  is  the  more 
wonderful  since  it  has  been  made  in  such  a  short  time. 

Universities  are  not  self-supporting,  they  rapidly  utilize  the 
sums  which  come  to  them,  and  as  quickly  demand  more.  They 
strive  to  repay  by  enriching  human  thought.  What  we  look 
forward  to  is  the  time  when  Old  Penn  shall  be  maintained 
solely  by  her  Alumni,  and  when  she  may  secure  their  contribu- 
tions without  asking  for  them.  That  will  be  the  time  when  a 
graduate  as  naturally  leaves  a  bequest  to  his  Alma  Mater,  as  a 
life  insurance  policy  to  his  wife.  Pennsylvania  asks  more  than 
this,  that  each  Alumnus  may  never  forget  his  whilom  student 
days,  but,  recalling  the  Fourth  Commandment,  cherish  their 
memory,  and  live  so  that  his  name  may  be  an  honor  to  Penn- 
sylvania.    May  '93  lead  here,  as  she  has  so  often  elsewhere ! 


NINETY-THREE  IN  THE  LAW. 


The  five  years  that  have  elapsed  since  this  subject  was 
last  made  a  matter  of  record  have  been  years  of  steady  growth 
and  advancement  for  the  members  of  our  class,  who,  since 
graduation,  have  adopted  the  law  as  a  profession.  While  none 
of  them  have  become  judges,  none  of  them  have  failed  alto- 
gether in  their  chosen  field  of  endeavor.  The  raw  recruits  of 
1898  have  become  the  disciplined  fighters  of  1903,  and  some  of 
those  who  were  disciplined  fighters  in  1898  are  now  becoming 
conspicuous  among  the  rank  and  file  of  the  bar. 

The  chronicler,  who  in  1898  recorded  the  doings  of  Ninety- 
three  in  the  law,  reported  that  seventeen  members  of  the  class 
constituted  the  harvest  which  the  law  had  reaped  from  our 
number.  He  was  mistaken.  In  1898,  twenty-one  of  Ninety- 
three's  men  were  attorneys  and  counsellors-at-law.  The  four 
who  were  then  overlooked  were  Philip  Howard  Brice,  Christo- 
pher Stewart  Patterson,  Jr.,  John  H.  Rex  and  Raymond  R. 
Donges,  all  of  whom  left  college  before  graduation.  Brice  is 
practicing  his  profession  with  the  same  eminent  respectability 
that  characterized  him  while  in  college.  Patterson,  as  might 
have  been  expected,  has  had  a  peculiar  career  since  his  admis- 
sion to  the  bar.  At  first  he  seemed  likely  to  take  rank  as  a 
lawyer  whose  specialty  was  murder ;  then  suddenly  he  aban- 
doned the  profession  and  entered  the  army,  and  lately  he 
has  just  as  suddenly  returned  to  the  legal  fold.  Rex  is  now 
and  for  a  number  of  years  has  been  one  of  the  rising  members 
of  the  bar  of  Montgomery  County.  Donges  is  busily  engaged 
in  expounding  the  laws  of  his  native  State  of  New  Jersey.

Concerning  the  majority  of  those  whom  the  former  chroni- 
cler described,  there  is  not  much  to  be  said  except  tliat  they  are 
one  and  all  still  earnest  in  their  work  and  are  meeting  with  a 
fair  measure  of  success.  Some  of  them  have  figured  somewhat 
in  the  public  eye.  Jack  Horner,  one  of  the  earliest  of  us  to  be 
admitted  to  the  bar,  was  also  one  of  the  earliest  of  us  to 
become  prominent  in  politics,  and,  as  a  result,  he  is  to-day 
Speaker  of  the  House  of  Representatives  of  the  State  of  New 
Jersey.  Murdock  Kendrick  has  likewise  displayed  a  deep 
interest  in  political  matters.  In  January,  1901,  he  became 
chief  clerk  in  the  office  of  the  City  Treasurer  of  Philadelphia, 
from  which  position,  however,  he  resigned  in  the  autumn  of  the 
same  year.  Since  September,  1902,  he  has  been  Assistant 
District  Attorney  for  the  County  of  Philadelphia.  Wm.  Y.  C. 
Anderson  and  John  Cadwalader,  Jr.,  have  also  taken  some  part 
in  local  politics,  but  have  never  held  public  office.  The  former 
has,  however,  filled  numerous  offices  in  the  Law  Academy  of 
Philadelphia  and  is  now  its  president.  This  venerable  legal 
society  has  also  occupied  considerable  of  the  time  and  attention 
of  Thomas  S.  Gates,  who  is  its  present  vice-president.  Andrew 
Wright  Crawford  has  attracted  some  public  notice  by  his  com- 
mendable and  consistent  advocacy  of  parks  and  boulevards  as 
methods  of  enhancing  the  pleasures  of  city  life. 

The  mention  ot  these  more  widely  known  of  our  lawyers  is 
not  intended  to  reflect  on  or  disparage  the  others,  Crowther, 
Hulburd,  Sinkler,  Smyth,  Nicholas,  Kohn,  Fulmer,  Runk,  Lov- 
ering,  Clark  and  Gensemer,  some  of  whom  are  the  possessors  of 
practices  more  satisfactory  and  more  lucrative  than  those  of  their 
better  known  classmates.  Strange  as  it  may  seem,  James  T 
Young,  who  now  represents  us  in  the  Wharton  School  faculty, 
for  a  considerable  period  of  time  after  assuming  his  professorial 
position,  was  an  earnest  student  of  the  law,  but  his  aff'ection  for 


74 

the  work  of  the  Wharton  School  could  not  be  alienated  by  the 
charms  of  advocacy  and  counselling,  and  so  he  remained  true  to 
his  first  love.  Still  more  strange  does  it  seem  to  learn  that 
Franklin  S.  Edmonds,  already  high  in  the  estimation  of  the 
public  as  a  teacher  and  an  author,  expects  at  an  early  date  to 
add  membership  of  the  bar  to  his  other  undoubted  accomplish- 
ments, but  such  is  nevertheless  a  fact.  May  he  have  the  same 
success  in  this  difficult  undertaking  that  he  has  had  in  every- 
thing else  he  has  attempted  ! 

Five  years  ago  it  was  said  in  "The  Record"  that  "In  the 
law  as  in  medicine  or  business  or  whatnot,  Ninety-three  is  still 
but  the  seed  from  which  we  are  trusting  in  due  time  there  will 
come  the  blade,  then  the  ear,  and  then  the  full  corn  in  the  ear." 
May  we  not  say  now  that  we  have  not  trusted  in  vain ;  that  the 
blade  at  least  has  come,  and  that  the  time  of  the  ripened  corn 
is  not  far  distant  ? 


NINETY-THREE  IN  MEDICINE. 


The  fifteen  medical  men  of  our  class  are,  with  one  excep- 
tion, all  practising  their  profession,  and,  again,  with  one  excep- 
tion, have  furnished  us  with  a  short  account  of  their  doings, 
professional  and  otherwise,  since  graduation.  During  the  last 
five  years  we  have  gained  one  medical  brother  and  lost  another, 
Lamb  deserting  to  the  ministerial  ranks  and  Alburger  throwing 
himself  into  the  resulting  breach.  Nearly  all  of  the  men  are 
holding  positions  of  prominence  and  responsibility  in  hospitals 
and  colleges,  as  well  as  in  their  private  work.  Some  have 
travelled  extensively,  particularly  Weber,  who  made  two  trips 
to  South  Africa  during  the  Boer  war  in  the  American  hos- 
pital ship,  the  Maine.  Jefferys  has  for  the  last  two  years  been 
living  in  Shanghai,  China,  and  has  done  a  considerable  amount 
of  travelling  in  Japan  and  China.  Brinton  visited  foreign 
climes  with  the  City  Troop  during  the  Spanish-American  War, 
and  Willson  represented  the  United  States  at  the  Congress  on 
Tuberculosis  at  Naples  in  1900.  Ekwurzel  is  stationed  in  the 
Philippines  as  an  assistant  surgeon  in  the  army  with  rank  of 
First  Lieutenant.  Two  of  the  fifteen  served  in  the  Spanish- 
American  War.  Brinton  as  a  private  in  the  City  Troop,  and 
Schaul  in  the  Sixteenth  Pennsylvania  Volunteer  Infantry,  and 
later  as  an  acting  assistant  surgeon  in  the  United  States  Army. 
Six  are  married  and  the  rest  non-committal  in  the  matter  of  the 
reasons  for  their  single  state.  In  this  era  of  specialism,  which 
takes  in  all  walks  of  life  as  well  as  the  physicians'  paths,  it  is 
not  held  a  sufficient  explanation  of  occupation  to  state  that  a 
man  is  a  physician  or  surgeon,  but  the  further  question  is  asked 

(75) 


76 

as  to  what  particular  organ  or  sj^stem  he  directs  his  medicine  or 
points  his  knife.  Unfortunately  this  kind  of  information  was 
not  secured,  and  therefore  we  cannot  advise  our  classmates  in 
the  important  matter  of  getting  the  right  man  for  the  right 
disease.  The  record  for  the  last  five  years  is  one  of  steady  if 
slow  progress  up  the  ladder  of  success.  The  work  is  all  too  new 
as  yet  to  speak  of  the  quality  of  the  fruit  to  be  borne,  but 
surely  if  devotion  to  work  and  real  love  of  the  chosen  profession 
insures  success  the  fourteen  must  needs  be  crowned  at  the  end  of 
their  journey  with  wreaths  of  laurels. 

Henry  R.  Alburger,  relatively  late  in  life  saw  the  error  of 
other  ways  and  studied  medicine,  graduating  in  1902.  He  is 
now  a  resident  physician  in  the  Philadelphia  Hospital. 

Ward  Brinton  served  with  the  City  Troop  during  the 
Spanish  campaign,  and  is  still  an  active  soldier.  He  is  a  fellow 
of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  a  member  of  several  medical 
societies  and  curator  of  the  Mutter  Museum.  Thomas  Luther 
Coley  is  a  fellow  of  the  College  of  Physicians,  and  has  published 
several  articles  in  medical  journals. 

George  M.  Ekwurzel  in  1900  enlisted  as  a  contract  surgeon 
in  the  United  States  Army,  and  is  now  stationed  in  Manila,  and 
holds  rank  of  First  Lieutenant,  and  assistant  surgeon,  United 
States  Army. 

Herbert  P.  Fisher  is  practising  in  Germantown.  He  is  a 
member  of  the  Medical  Club  of  Philadelphia,  and  the  County 
Medical  Society. 

John  Norman  Henry,  since  graduation,  served  as  resident 
physician  in  the  Children's  and  Pennsylvania  Hospitals.  Since 
then  he  has  been  registrar,  medical  dispensary,  Children's  Hos- 
pital, 1898  (resigned) ;  physician  to  dispensary,  St.  Christopher's 
Hospital,  3  898-1899;  acting  assistant  surgeon,  United  States 
Marine  Hospital  Service,  1898  ;  temporary  physician  to  Church 


77 

Home  for  Children,  1899-1902  ;  physician  to  Out-patient  Depart- 
ment, Pennsylvania  Hospital ;  physician-in-charge,  DeLancey 
School ;  visiting  physician  to  Pennsylvania  Institution  for  In- 
struction of  the  Blind  ;  medical  examiner,  Mutual  Life  Insurance 
Company,  of  New  York,  and  assistant  physician,  Philadelphia 
Hospital. 

William  H.  JefFerys  was  resident  ]3hysician  in  Children's 
Hospital,  Philadelphia,  and  subsequently  took  special  courses 
on  the  eye,  ear,  nose  and  throat  preparatory  to  practising  on  the 
heathen  Chinese,  which  he  is  now  doing  in  St.  Luke's  (Mission) 
Hospital  in  Shanghai. 

He  has  written  articles  for  the  Spirit  of  Missions  and  the 
China  medical  missionary  journal,  and  gives  clinical  instruction 
to  students  at  St.  John's  College,  Shanghai. 

Rev.  George  Warrington  Lamb  in  1901  gave  up  the  pursuit 
of  medicine  and  became  a  clergyman. 

John  Schwalm  Schaul  gives  but  a  small  account  of  himself. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  Sixteenth  Pennsylvania  Infantry  on 
trip  to  Porto  Rico,  and  subsequently  acting  assistant  surgeon, 
United  States  Army. 

John  F.  Sinclair  was  resident  physician,  German  Hospital. 
Since  1900  he  has  been  in  practice.  He  is  a  fellow  of  the 
College  of  Physicians,  member  of  Pathological  Society,  Medical 
Club  and  Pediatric  Society.  He  is  physician  to  the  medical 
dispensary,  Presbyterian  Hospital,  visiting  physician  to  the 
Philadelphia  Orphan's  Asylum  and  to  the  Presbyterian  Or- 
phanage, assistant  physician  to  medical  dispensary,  German 
Hospital  1900-1902. 

J.  Anson  Smith  is  medical  director  of  the  Camden  County 
HosjDital  for  the  Insane,  New  Jersey,  and  physician  to  Gloucester 
Township,  Camden  County,  New  Jersey. 


78 

Henry  Field  Smyth  studied  in  Vienna  for  one  year,  and  is 
now  practising  in  Germantown.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Patho- 
logical Society. 

Charles  H.  Weber  was  surgeon  on  the  hospital  ship  Maine 
during  the  Boer  War,  and  had  many  interesting  adventures, 
some  of  which  he  spoke  of  at  a  class  smoker  shortly  after  his 
return.  He  has  held  the  following  positions :  Physician  to 
medical  dispensary,  St.  Christopher's  Hospital,  1899-1902  ;  to 
medical  dispensary,  Episcopal  Hospital,  1899-1903 ;  visiting 
physician  to  Episcopal  Hospital ;  physician  to  medical  dispen- 
sary. Children's  Hospital ;  secretary.  Pediatric  Society  ;  member 
of  Pathological  and  Northern  Medical  Societies  ;  Philadelphia 
Medical  Club  and  A.  M.  II  Medical  Fraternity. 

Robert  N.  Willson,  Jr.,  is  instructor  of  Physical  Diagnosis, 
University  of  Pennsylvania,  and  University  physician.  He  is 
a  member  of  Philadelphia  County  Medical,  Pathological  and 
Pediatric  Societies,  and  fellow  of  the  College  of  Physicians.  He 
has  published  several  medical  papers. 


NINBTY-THREB  IN  THB  MINISTRY. 


"Ehen  fugaces,  Postume,  Postume, 
Labuntur  anni    *    *    *     " 

After  ten  years  our  class  counts  eight  men  in  the  ministry. 
There  were  nine,  but  George  Bickley  Houseman  has  passed  on 
to  higher  service.  We  cherish  his  memory  as  that  of  an 
earnest  Christian,  a  congenial  friend,  a  true  gentleman. 

"  The  earth  is  lonelier  now  when  he 
Who  walked  with  us  its  ways  is  gone." 

Another  member  of  our  class  was  enrolled  in  the  last 
Record  among  the  M.  D.'s,  but  is  now,  we  are  glad  to  say  [not 
that  we  love  our  medical  brethren  less]  one  of  us.  George 
Warrington  Lamb  gave  up  the  practice  of  medicine,  August  20, 
1901,  when  he  was  ordained  as  deacon  in  the  Protestant  Episcopal 
Grace  Church,  Mt.  Airy,  Philadelphia,  by  the  Rt.  Rev. 
Isaac  Lea  Nicholson,  Bishop  of  Milwaukee.  He  immediately 
took  charge  of  Trinity  Church,  Buckingham,  Bucks  County, 
Pennsylvania.  On  October  25,  1902,  he  was  ordained  Priest  at 
St.  Martin's  in  the  Fields,  Chestnut  Hill,  by  the  same  bishop. 

Stephen  Innes  is  now  in  San  Francisco,  California,  as  rector 
of  the  Church  of  St.  Mary,  the  Virgin.  "  Steve  "  writes  in  his 
inimitable  way  :  "  I  am  simply  rector  of  this  (what  some  would 
call)  Ritualistic  Church.  We  call  it  Catholic."  Innes  is  also 
editor  of  "  The  Catholic  Witness,"  an  illustrated  magazine 
devoted  to  the  interests  of  the  Episcopal  Church  in  the  United 
States  of  America. 

William  Clark  McKnight  is  pastor  of  the  Presbyterian 
Church  of  Greenport  in  that  part  of  Long   Island   where   ten 

(79)

steps  eastward  is  to  fall  into  the  water.  "  Billy  "  is  building  a 
new  chapel,  but  his  greatest  achievement  was  in  the  introduction 
of  the  Westminster  Shorter  Catechism  into  the  Sunda}^  School. 
Everyone  who  understands  the  race  characteristics  of  the 
aborigines  of  Long  Island  will  be  able  to  rate  this  last  feat  at  its 
true  value. 

In  1899  Erskine  Wright  left  St.  Clement's  Church  in  Phila- 
delphia, and  turned  his  steps  westward.  He  is  now  rector  of 
Christ  (Memorial)  Church,  Danville,  Pa.  Our  brother  tells 
us  that  he  has  neither  written  nor  published  anything  of 
consequence. 

The  malarial  mosquito  proved  too  much  for  George  John- 
son. In  April,  1902,  he  gave  up  his  missionary  work  in 
Southern  Mexico.  Since  then  he  has  been  teaching  Systematic 
Theology  and  Philosophy  in  Lincoln  University,  Chester 
County,  Pennsylvania,  an  institution  maintained  by  the  Pres- 
byterian Church  for  the  purpose  of  giving  to  the  negro  race  the 
benefits  of  a  higher  education.  Some  say  that  Johnson  is  grow- 
ing darker,  but  he  contradicts  the  assertion. 

Thomas  Frederick  Davies  is  now  rector  of  All  Saints' 
Church,  Worcester,  Mass.,  in  this  position  succeeding  the  Rev. 
Alexander  N.  Vinton,  now  Bishop  of  Massachusetts  [West]. 
Davies  is  a  conspicuously  able  and  influential  man  in  his 
position. 

We  all  remember  the  dignity  which  Brother  Ferguson  con- 
ferred upon  our  class  room  by  his  whiskers.  Thirteen  years 
have  passed  away,  and  now  it  is  William  Alexander  Ferguson, 
Divinitatis  Doctor,  who  writes  to  us.  We  hail  him  as  the  first 
D.  D.  of  our  number,  the  first  fruit  of  a  coming  harvest. 
Ferguson  is  also  our  most  travelled  brother,  having  made  tours 
through  England,  Holland,  Germany,  France,  Switzerland, 
Belgium,  California,  Oregon,  Washington  and  *  *  *  Kensington. 


81 

Henry  Douglas  Spaeth  is  now  in  Albany,  New  York. 
Since  Ma}',  1901,  he  has  been  pastor  of  the  Evangelical  Luth- 
eran Church  of  the  Redeemer.  He  tells  us  in  confidence  that 
this  is  "  the  largest  and  most  influential  congregation  of  the 
English  Lutheran  Church  in  Albany."  Spaeth  is  also  the 
author  of  the  following :  "  Personal  Quotations  in  the  Bible," 
"  Justification  by  Faith,"  "  The  Ten  Commandments  in  the 
Twentieth  Century  "  and  "  The  Doctrine  of  the  Holy  Spirit." 

About  Reginald  Heber  Woodward  it  is  our  regret  that  we 
can  say  nothing  owing  to  the  lack  of  information. 

We  thus  narrate  another  five  years'  history  of  the  clergymen 
of  Ninety-three.  As  yet  none  of  us  have  started  a  great 
theological  movement,  nor  have  any  been  tried  for  heresy.  We 
have  written  no  epoch-making  books,  nor  does  the  world  lose  any 
sleep  in  hearing  our  sermons.  Our  literary  assets  are  like 
Ratelais's  last  will  and  testament :  "  We  owe  much.  We  have 
nothing.  The  rest  we  give  to  the  poor."  And  yet  it  is  not 
without  a  certain  degree  of  pride  that  we  chronicle  the  individual 
records  of  our  men  as  far  as  we  could  learn  them.  Because 
ministry  is  service  and  humblest  service  is  our  highest  aim. 

Not  on  the  vulgar  mass 

Called  "work"  must  sentence  pass, 
Things  done,  that  took  the  eye  and  had  the  price ; 
**  ****** 

But  all,  the  world's  coarse  thumb 

And  finger  failed  to  plumb 
So  passed  in  making  up  the  main  account ; 

All  instincts  immature 

All  purposes  unsure, 
That  weighed  not  as  his  work  yet  swelled  the  man's  amount. 

Thoughts  hardly  to  be  packed 

Into  a  narrow  act, 
Fancies  that  broke  through  language  and  escaped, 

All  I  could  never  be 

All,  men  ignored  in  me. 
This,  I  was  worth  to  God    *    *    *    * 


NINETY-THREE  IN  ARCHITECTURE 


Five  years  ago  when  our  record  closed,  our  four  architec- 
tural members  were  widely  scattered.  Bill  Hays  had  just 
brought  honor  to  the  rest  of  us  and  fame  to  himself  by  coming 
out  top  of  the  heap  on  the  Stewardson  Memorial  Travelling 
Scholarship  Competition  for  1898,  and  had  sailed  away  for 
foreign  shores  loaded  down  with  sketch  books  and  "  Bardeckers." 

With  him  went  Bissell,  and  the  two  "  life-long  chums  "  jour- 
neyed together  as  far  as  Gay  Paree,  but  there,  alas  !  with  heavy 
hearts  and  many  tears  they  parted  for  a  space.  Bissell  to  travel 
and  Bill  to  buckle  down  to  school  work  and  to  endeavor  to  with- 
stand the  snares  and  temptations  of  the  Latin  quarter. 

Ah  !  if  Bill  would  only  publish  an  account  of  his  experi- 
ences what  a  history  we  would  have — but  Mr.  Gibboney  and  his 
Law  and  Order  minions  would  come  down  upon  him,  like  an 
avenging  Fate — and  wisely  but  reluctantly  has  Bill  re- 
frained. 

Meanwhile  at  home  "  Kink  "  Harris  (our  legacy  from  '92) 
was  keeping  our  memory  green  within  the  oft-remembered 
haunts  of  "  Jamie,"  turning  out  details  with  deft  fluency,  and 
our  one  professional  member  "  Bob "  Perot  was  diligently  en- 
gaged in  gathering  clients  and  settling  down  to  the  domestic 
joys  and  cares  of  married  life. 

Bill  tarried  abroad  for  something  over  a  year  and  came 
back  with  trunks  full  of  sketches  and  treasured  drawings  to  be 
properly  admired  and  praised  in  the  T  Square  Club's  exhibition. 
For  a  while  Bill  returned  to  his  old  place  as  a  draughtsman,  but 
only  to  get  his  breath,  as  it  were,  and  look  about  him,  and  soon 

(82) 


83 

he  is  installed  in  quarters  of  his  own,  behind  a  door  ever  inviting 
you  to  enter  with  the  legend  of  "  William  Charles  Hays,  Archi- 
tect," and  from  that  day  till  this  Bill  keeps  steadily  adding  to  his 
renown  and  now  behold  him  President  of  the  T  Square  Club,  and 
Instructor  in  Design  in  that  very  architectural  school  of  our 
alma  mater,  where  he  was  taught  the  mysteries  of  our  art,  and 
paved  the  way  for  the  design  of  that  building  which  will  ever 
remain  a  fitting  monument  to  his  genius — Houston  Hall. 

Having  narrated  the  adventures  and  successes  of  one  "  star" 
comrade  little  remains  to  be  told  about  the  remaining  three. 
Bissell  remained  a  draughtsman  with  Cope  &  Stewardson — 
where  he  had  been  ever  since  graduation — until  July,  1900, 
when  he  became  junior  member  of  the  firm  of  Perot  & 
Bissell. 

Bob  Perot  meanwhile  had  been  saying  little  but  sawing 
wood  in  great  shape,  his  circle  of  clients  widening  all  the  while, 
and  such  has  been  his  success  in  the  sawing  line  that  he  now 
entertains  his  friends  under  his  very  own  roof  tree  furnished 
with  all  the  latest  modern  improvements,  and  ingenious  indeed 
and  up-to-date  will  be  the  burglar  who  can  gain  an  entrance 
past  "  Lockemont"  bolts  and  "  lioxet"  sash  fasts. 

With  the  story  of  "  Kink  "  Harris  (who  having  suffered  in 
the  Purgatory  of  '92  attained  at  last  to  the  Paradise  of  '93)  we 
will  bring  our  history  to  a  close.  Stirred  by  the  example  of  his 
old  comrades  he  determined  to  try  the  inspiring  experience 
of  a  journey  to  foreign  lands.  Once  in  Paris,  the  school  fever 
seized  him  and  a  summer  tour  by  degrees  lengthened  into  a 
sojourn  of  over  two  years.  When  finally  he  turned  his  course 
homewards  we  find  him  settling  down  as  draughtsman  in  New 
York,  where  he  still  remains.  Let  us  hope  this  is  but  a  start 
preparatory  to  a  successful  career  in  his  native  city. 

Thus  have  the  four  of  '93  who  chose  architecture  as  their 


84 

profession  fared  during  the  last  five  years,  and  glancing  over  the 
record  can  we  not  truly  and  heartily  say  that  it  has  been  a 
period  of  hard  work  and  useful  experience  for  all,  and  more 
than  that  has  not  the  career  of  each  and  every  one  shown  a 
steady  progress  onwards  towards  a  success  in  a  noble  pro- 
fession— a  profession  which  exacts  from  a  sincere  follower  the 
best  that  he  has  to  give,  and  ever  nerves  him  on  to  higher  and 
better  things. 


NINETY-THREE  IN  ENGINEERING 


Another  five  years  have  passed  and  we  look  once  again 
over  the  roll  and  ask  where  are  the  boys — those  fellows  who 
made  Crawley's  life  miserable  at  times  and  quieted  the  feelings 
of  Felix  E.  when  our  arts  brothers  had  treated  him  badly  ;  those 
fellows  who  worked  James  one  year  in  Constitutional  Law  and 
Wintersteen  the  next,  in  Business  Law ;  those  fellows  who 
would  cuss  Willie  Webb  one  day  and  discuss  the  Colonel  or 
Doctor  Smith  the  next.  Some  of  them  have  passed  so  far  away 
that  we  look  in  vain  for  them,  some  have  lost  interest  in  us  so 
that  we  can  not  reach  them,  and  of  the  thirty-seven  who  finished 
in  ninety-three  only  about  one-half  have  replied  to  the  record 
committee. 

It  is  a  pleasure  to  look  over  our  four  years,  which  we 
spent  at  Pennsylvania  ten  years  ago,  and  to  think  that  although 
we  had  sport  with  Danny  Shumway  and  Wiley,  and  "joshed" 
Picolet  and  Webb  as  well  as  Dr.  Keith  and  a  host  of  others,  we 
really  did  some  serious  work  which  has  born  fruit  in  these 
years  of  development.  It  was  during  these  years  that  we 
received  more  than  the  knowledge  of  how  to  use  books  and  to 
solve  engineering  problems,  we  unconsciously  learned  to  be  men 
in  a  broad  sense  of  the  word,  and  it  has  been  that  which  has 
brought  success  to  more  than  one  of  us. 

Our  first  record  since  graduation  told  the  story  of  what  we 
had  started  to  do,  and  in  this  we  can  follow  the  unfolding  and 
development  of  these  early  plans.  Some  have  changed  posi- 
tions several  times,  but  it  is  gratifying  to  note  that  most  of 
them  have  learned  that  it  is  best  to  keep  at  one  thing  until  you 

(85) 


86 

can  do  it  better  than  any  other  person,  and  then  recognition  will 
come.  The  Colonel  and  the  Duke  have  drummed  that  into 
us,  and  as  a  result  of  it  we  can  mention  several  successes. 

Frank  Witmer  started  in  with  the  idea  of  Bridge  Work, 
and  although  teaching  at  Pennsylvania  kept  him  from  this 
a  few  years,  those  years  were  well  spent  and  undoubtedly  helped 
him  in  his  present  work  which  is  with  the  American  Bridge 
Company  at  the  Pencoyd  shops.  His  last  five  years  have 
advanced  him  so  that  he  is  now  in  charge  of  the  Designing  and 
Estimating  Department  at  Pencoyd. 

Rod  Pearson  is  still  at  the  work  which  he.  Count  Bower 
and  Artie  Greene  started  when  they  borrowed  instruments  from 
Haupt.  Little  did  Pearson  think  when  he  ran  those  surveys 
that  he  would  become  chief  surveyor  of  the  Government  in 
charge  of  work  on  the  Delaware  and  its  tributaries. 

Breen  and  Kemper  are  two  other  fellows  who  are  "  doing 
business  at  the  old  stand."  Breen  is  still  in  City  Engineers' 
office  of  Cincinnati  and  Kemper  is  in  Utica  ;  Breen  has  charge 
of  the  track  elevation  and  subways.  "  Reddy  "  Rodgers,  whom 
the  Philadelphia  papers  took  for  a  girl  when  he  graduated,  is 
working  on  bridges,  being  chief  engineer  of  the  Structural 
Department  of  Barber  and  Ross,  of  Washington,  D.  C.  Jimmy 
Newlin  and  Paul  Kirchner  are  practicing  civil  engineering. 

Of  the  Colonel's  flock  we  have  no  news,  from  several  of 
whom  we  greatly  desire  to  hear.  Flecky  seems  to  have  been 
lost.  Bertolet  has  evaporated  and  Billy  Warne  is  never  seen. 
Sammy  Swift,  that  serious  boy,  is  probably  practising  engineer- 
ing as  art  and  music  editor  of  the  Mail  and  Express,  New  York. 
It  may  be,  however,  that  he  has  given  up  this  engineering 
for  opera,  using  that  deep  base  voice  to  which  we  listened  with 
pleasure.  Colket  has  remained  by  his  first  love,  the  Baldwin 
Locomotive   Works,    and  as  a  result  has  now  reached  a  very 


87 

responsible  position,  but  this  has  not  changed  him,  he  is  the 
same  Bertie  who  had  that  familiar  expression,  "  Now  ain't  that 
weird."  This  he  remarked  several  times  each  hour  to  the  front 
row  combine  of  Crawley's  room,  Flecky,  Charlie  Friedman, 
Greene  and  Pearson.  After  several  such  remarks  he  would 
start  work  with  his  pen  for  an  exercise  for  the  next  class  or  on 
some  lecture  notes  which  were  to  be  copied.  There  was  hardly 
one  hour  in  which  Colket  gave  his  undivided  attention  to  the 
class  work.  This  has  changed,  however,  for  he  is  now  a 
strict  business  man,  but  he  has  still  those  genial  manners  of 
college  days. 

Eddy  Wilford  and  Howard  Loeb  continue  in  the  same 
business  in  which  they  were  engaged  five  years  ago.  Wilford's 
company  has  built  up  an  excellent  business,  and  their  work 
has  a  reputation  for  excellence  and  accuracy.  Loeb  is  of  the 
firm  of  Francis  Brothers  &  Jellet.  Martin  Rice  is  now  at  the 
head  of  the  publication  bureau  of  the  largest  electrical  manu- 
facturing company  of  the  United  States,  the  General  Electric 
Company,  while  Cross  and  Haines  are  still  working  the  U.  G.  I. 
Company.  Haines  has  been  moved  around  considerably  by  the 
company,  his  work  being  the  superintendence  of  the  installations 
of  new  plants.  Artie  Greene  has  at  last  left  Pennsylvania, 
having  been  made  Professor  of  Mechanical  Engineering  at 
Missouri,  and  Joe  Curtis  has  changed  his  "job,"  being  now  the 
local  manager  of  the  National  Electric  Supply  Comj^any  in 
Baltimore. 

Bob  Morgan  is  still  with  Francis  Brothers  &  Jellet  as  an 
electrical  engineer,  and  Hansel  has  left  the  Presidency  of  the 
Franklin  Machine  Works  to  take  charge  of  the  Spring  Depart- 
ment of  the  J.  G.  Brill  Company.  Shadow  Shoemaker  has  not 
changed  his  work  since  the  last  Record.  Sawtelle's  success  has 
been  conspicuous.     He  is  now  representative  of  the  Westing- 


88 

house  Electric  Company  in  London,  and  in  the  company's 
behalf  has  visited  the  Expositions  at  Paris  and  Buffalo. 

As  before  noted,  it  is  very  gratifying  to  see  the  success 
which  has  befallen  so  many  of  our  class,  and  also  that  this  has 
not  been  due  to  any  "graft"  or  "pull,"  but  to  hard  work  ;  work, 
which  at  the  time  of  its  doing  has  been  apparently  unnoticed, 
but  which  has  brought  its  reward  at  last.  The  engineers  of 
Ninety-three  can  be  proud  of  their  success. 

It  is  not  amiss  to  make  some  mention  of  the  great  advance- 
ment in  the  Engineering  Departments  in  the  last  five  years. 
This  year  sees  started  the  new  engineering  laboratory  which 
will  be,  on  its  completion,  the  best  in  the  United  States. 
The  building,  with  its  equipment,  will  cost  over  half  a  million 
of  dollars,  aud  will  place  Pennsylvania  where  she  should 
be  among  the  engineering  schools  of  this  country.  This  build- 
ing has  been  made  possible  by  the  untiring  efforts  of  our 
Provost,  Mr.  Harrison,  who  has  worked  unceasingly  in  raising 
the  funds.  Professor  Spangler  and  Professor  Marburg  have  been 
equally  diligent  in  planning  the  equipment  and  building.  The 
present  arrangement  is  due  to  the  men  to  whom  we  as  a  class 
owe  so  much. 


NINETY-THREE'S  CONTRIBUTION  TO  THE 
CAUSE  OF  EDUCATION 


I  have  preferred  this  title  to  "The  Pedagogues  in  Ninety- 
three  "  because  it  includes  all  those  in  the  class  who  have  engaged 
in  teaching  whether  as  a  profession  or  merely  as  an  avocation. 
It  is  astonishing  how  many  members  of  our  class  have  been 
engaged  at  one  time  or  another  in  educational  work  since  the 
year  of  our  graduation.  The  list  includes  twenty-one  names — 
truly  a  large  proportion.  Some  who  were  teaching  when  our 
last  Record  was  published  in  1898  have  since  given  it  up  alto- 
gether, while  a  few  who  were  not  teaching  then  have  since 
taken  it  up.  But  those  who  were  teaching  then  and  those  who 
are  teaching  now  may  be  said  to  be  the  real  psedagogues  of  the 
class ;  and  these  men  who  seem  likely  to  continue  teaching  as  a 
profession  number  eleven.  In  a  sense  it  is  the  old  principle  of 
a  survival  of  the  fittest — the  fittest,  of  course,  not  in  a  general 
sense,  but  in  this  particular  line.  Men  who  have  worked  hard 
for  ten  years  at  one  thing  must  have  done  so  with  a  conviction 
that  they  are  fitted  for  it,  and  that  it  is  really  destined  to  be 
their  life  work. 

Two  ideas  seem  to  be  prevalent  with  regard  to  the  teacher's 
profession.  One  is  that  it  is  a  "  snap.''  The  other  is  that  it 
contains  a  lot  of  men  who  are  "  freaks,"  who  are  behind  the 
times,  and  who  are  not  good  for  much  besides.  In  individual 
cases  this  last  notion  is  apt  to  be  a  true  one  ;  but  it  is  not  the 
fault  of  the  profession  per  se ;  the  fault  rather  lies  with  the 
individual.  He  should  dignify  his  profession  and  get  the  best 
out  of  it  that  he  can.     And  I  am  convinced  that  practically  all 

(89) 


90 

the  men  of  Ninety-three  are  doing  this;  that  they  are  wide- 
awake, conscientious  young  men,  with  interests  varied  enough 
to  keep  them  alive  and  stirring,  and  that  they  have  a  deep  and 
high-minded  sense  of  the  great  responsibility  of  their  positions. 
It  has  been  truly  said  that  no  mere  teacher  is  ever  a  great 
teacher,  and  the  same  might  be  said  of  any  profession.  If  a 
man  regulates  his  life  solely  and  continually  with  an  eye  to  his 
profession  (and  this  is  what  we  teachers  pre-eminently  have  to 
guard  against)  forgetting  thereby  his  duty  as  an  American 
citizen,  his  duty  towards  religion,  his  duty  as  a  member  of 
society — then  in  every  case  his  general  usefulness  in  the  world 
is  sadly  impaired. 

The  profession  of  the  teacher  has  been  called  a  "  snap  " — 
and  in  some  senses  this  is  true  ;  but  not  in  the  generally  accepted 
sense.  My  friends  in  the  business  world  who  run  down  to  the 
shore  on  Saturday  afternoon  look  at  me  with  envious  eyes  when 
they  scurry  off  to  catch  the  early  train  on  Monday  morning,  as 
I  settle  myself  comfortably  for  a  quiet  after-breakfast  smoke  and 
lounge,  which  they  realize  are  but  the  prelude  to  a  dolce  far  niente 
of  two  or  three  months.  It  is  in  this  sense  chiefly  that  outsiders 
look  upon  the  teaching  profession  as  an  easy  one.  They  fail  to 
realize  that  brain  work  is  the  hardest  work  in  the  world  and  that 
after  all  the  teacher's  work  in  many  respects,  like  woman's  work, 
is  never  done.  But  there  is  compensation  in  everything ;  and 
the  life  of  the  scholar  (for  every  good  teacher  is  a  scholar  in  the 
best  sense)  has  many  joys.  With  him  pleasures  cannot  pall,  for 
his  mind  to  him  a  kingdom  is,  and  his  books  are  ever  "  true 
friends  in  every  season,  bright  or  dim."  In  this  sense  the  life  of 
the  scholar  is  a  "  snap."  It  brings  with  it  the  quiet,  calm  joys 
that  mere  sensuous  pleasures  cannot  give,  and  it  increases  a 
hundred-fold  a  man's  capacity  for  the  enjoyment  of  the  true,  the 
beautiful,  and  the  good — those  eternal  verities  the  appreciation 


91 

of  which  comes  with  "  plain  living  and  high  thinking."  But 
we  teachers  do  not  want  to  talk  shop  always ;  nor  do  we 
mean  to  arrogate  to  ourselves  all  the  good  in  life.  We 
realize  that  each  profession  has  its  place  and  part  in  the  whole 
scheme  of  life,  and  claim  recognition  for  our  own  as  one  of  some 
advantages  and  of  much  noble  responsibility. 

Since  the  appearance  of  our  last  Record  three  of  our  com- 
rades, who  had  intended  to  make  teaching  their  life  work,  have 
been  removed  from  our  midst  by  the  hand  of  Death.  These  are 
George  Houseman,  Spencer,  and  Clarence  Mclntire.  Of  these 
Mclntire  will  be  more  widely  remembered  by  Ninety-three  men 
than  the  other  two,  who  were  not  with  us  so  long,  and  who 
removed  from  Philadelphia  shortly  after  graduation. 

Of  Clarence  Mclntire  it  may  be  said  that  he  realized  the 
beau-ideal  of  the  teacher.  A  man  of  high  aspirations,  noble 
motives,  sesthetic  tastes,  with  the  winning  qualities  of  heart  that 
endeared  him  to  all  who  knew  him,  his  life  was  a  benediction. 
Though  that  life  has  gone  from  amongst  us  its  radiance  and  its 
influence  remain  ;  and  I  feel  as  I  sadly  record  his  death  that  in 
his  removal  the  cause  of  education  has  suiTered  an  irre- 
parable loss. 

Three  of  our  members  who  were  teaching  in  '98  have  since 
engaged  in  other  work — or  rather  two,  for  as  early  as  '97  Wit- 
mer  became  a  draughtsman,  giving  up  in  that  year  an  instruc- 
torship  in  civil  engineering.  Gilchrist  is  now  a  civil  engineer, 
and  Herbert  Brown,  who  was  for  eight  years  a  teacher  at  Ger- 
mantown  Academy,  has  taken  up  illustration  as  an  art  and  a 
livelihood,  to  the  great  regret  of  the  boys  at  the  school,  with 
whom  he  was  very  popular.  These  defections  in  the  educa- 
tional ranks  are  numerically  offset  by  the  addition  to  the  teach- 
ing force  of  three  men  who  are  pursuing  teaching  as  a  side  issue. 
These  are  "  Bob  "  Willsou,  George  Johnson,  and  "  Billy  "  Hays. 


92 

Willson  adds  to  his  income  by  filling  the  position  of  instructor 
in  physical  diagnosis  at  our  own  medical  school,  for  which  his 
studies  abroad  have  amply  fitted  him.  It  may  also  be  men- 
tioned in  passing  that  Bob  is  still  a  good  tennis  player. 

Hays  is  also  at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  instructing 
in  architectural  design.  George  Johnson  has  made  a  radical 
change.  After  a  long  sojourn  in  the  wilds  of  Mexico,  whence  he 
emerged  unscathed  from  earthquakes,  wild  beasts,  and  wilder 
"  Greasers,"  and  where  his  preaching  and  influence  converted  a 
multitude  of  heathen,  he  has  returned  to  the  more  congenial,  if 
effete,  East.  Truly  the  Lord  takes  care  of  His  own.  But  George 
preaches  no  more.  He  now  bears  the  distinguished  and  sonorous 
title  of  Professor  of  Systematic  Theology  and  Mental  and 
Moral  Philosophy  in  Lincoln  University,  Chester  County,  Penn- 
sylvania. There,  we  have  no  doubt,  he  awes  and  amazes  the 
rustics,  as  he  did  of  yore,  with  his  ponderous  learning  and  words 
of  thundering  sound.  Whether  he  is  to  pursue  teaching  as  his 
life  work,  time  alone  will  tell.  But  whatever  he  does  will 
be  done  conscientiously  and  well. 

If  young  Lochinvar  in  the  shape  of  George  Johnson  has 
come  out  of  the  West,  we  have  sent  others  to  take  his  place. 
Arthur  Greene,  after  teaching  several  years  at  his  alma  mater, 
sighed  for  other  worlds  to  conquer.  When  the  University 
of  Missouri  authorities  heard  that  he  and  Hallett  were  both  in 
the  same  institution,  they  decided  that  so  much  talent  should 
not  be  allowed  to  coexist  at  one  institution  ;  so  they  sent  a 
call  to  Greene,  with  the  result,  happy  for  them,  but  sad 
for  Hallett  and  Pennsylvania,  that  Greene  is  now  Professor 
of  Mechanical  Engineering  in  the  wild  and  woolly  West. 
When  Spangler  heard  that  Greene  was  going  to  leave  him, — like 
the  famous  Walrus,  "  I  weep  for  you,"  sad  Spangler  said, 
and  shed  a  bitter  tear. 


93 

Hallett  still  continues  to  teach  higher  mathematics  at 
Pennsylvania  even  as  he  did  back  in  our  undergraduate  days 
when  the  somnolent  Kendall  got  him  to  demonstrate  abstruse 
problems  for  the  benefit  of  the  rest  of  the  class.  Hallett  seems 
to  be  increasing  in  the  waistband,  but  he  does  it  to  counterbalance 
the  elongated  proportions  of  his  colleague  Tommy  Montgomery, 
who,  in  spite  of  many  bibulous  feats  in  the  German  Fatherland, 
still  retains  his  pristine  shape  as  he  towers  upward  towards  the 
clouds.     "  Ingrediturque  solo,  et  caput  inter  nubila  condit." 

Last,  but  not  least,  of  those  who  are  teaching  at  the  Univer- 
sity, is  Jim  Young.  It  has  remained  for  an  enterprising  modern 
firm  to  give  voice  to  the  most  appropriate  epithet  ever  devised 
for  Young.  He  is  most  emphatically  "  Sunny  Jim,"  and  I 
believe  it  is  by  this  endearing  term  that  he  is  known  to  his 

pupils. 

Jim  Young  has  one  prodigious  grin, 
The  outward  sign  of  mirth  within  ; 
He's  always  been  a  merry  lad, 
In  circumstances  good  or  bad. 
And  nothing  e'er  can  bother  him, 
For  first  and  last  he's  "  Sunny  Jim." 

At  the  Central  High  School  in  Philadelphia  Ninety-three 
has  an  illustrious  quartette  in  the  persons  of  the  irrepressible 
Frank  Edmonds,  the  classicists  Howes  and  Lee,  and  the  mathe- 
matical production  of  the  Wharton  School,  James  Henry  Gra- 
ham. Besides  his  work  as  a  teacher  Frank  Edmonds  seems  to 
consider  the  High  School  as  a  means  to  an  end,  the  end  being  the 
increase  of  his  personal  acquaintance  among  Philadelphia's  dis- 
tinguished citizens,  political  and  otherwise.  His  activities  are  so 
numerous  that  even  to  mention  them  would  cause  me  to  exceed 
the  space  allotted  to  this  article.  Like  Juvenal's  "  Graeculus 
esuriens," 

Teacher,  philosopher,  editor,  literateur,  politician, 
Author,  orator,  clubman,  a  puller  of  legs  and  of  wires, — 
Verily  Frank  knows  it  all ;  and  better  still,  knows  everybody. 


94 

And  if  we  all  get  as  much  out  of  life  as  he,  we  shall  be  doing 
very  well. 

Arthur  Howes  is  an  anomaly,  a  bundle  of  contradictions  and 
inconsistencies.  He  is  a  pessimist  with  the  Rabelaisian  "  rire 
immense  ;  "  out  of  sympathy  with  some  things  that  interest  the 
most  of  us,  yet  growing  fat ;  a  scholar,  yet  a  very  pleasant  table 
companion  withal.  He  is  in  love  with  his  work,  and  when  a 
man  is  that,  he  is  bound  to  produce  good  results.  At  the  High 
School  it  has  been  said  of  him  that  he  is  the  only  man  who  has 
ever  succeeded  in  making  the  boys  enthusiastic  over  Greek  and 
Latin  accidence.  What  higher  praise  can  we  bestow  I  Truly 
"  he  ought  to  have  a  tablet  in  the  Hall  of  Fame." 

Lee  is  Instructor  in  Latin  and  Ancient  History  in  the  Cen- 
tral High  School,  having  given  up  his  position  as  head  of  the 
classical  department  at  Temple  College  in  1900.  Besides  his 
intellectual  work,  Lee  sometimes  recalls  his  athletic  days  and 
renews  his  youth  by  giving  points  to  the  school  track  athletic 
team.  As  Graham  is  a  member  of  the  High  School  athletic 
council  these  two  old  classmates  are  endeavoring  to  direct  into 
the  proper  channels  the  physical  as  well  as  the  intellectual 
activities  of  Young  America. 

Outside  of  Philadelphia,  besides  those  already  mentioned, 
Greenman  is  doing  well  at  Harvard  as  Instructor  in  Botany  and 
Assistant  at  the  Gray  Herbarium.  He  has  published  many 
articles  upon  subjects  connected  with  his  chosen  line  of  work. 
Victor  Lenher  is  upholding  the  fame  of  Ninety-three  in  the 
University  of  Wisconsin  as  Assistant  Professor  of  Chemistry. 
So  there  are  little  patches  of  Ninety-three,  as  it  were,  scattered 
here  and  there  throughout  the  country,  like  oases  in  the  desert. 

There  remain  to  be  mentioned  two  of  our  classmates  who 
are  still  among  us  in  Philadelphia.  One  of  these,  Gensemer,  is 
practising   law,    but   he  is  also,    as  a   side   issue,  teaching   in 


95 

the  Episcopal  Academy.  The  other  is  James  Henri  Donnelly. 
Donnelly  is  still  among  us,  but  apparently  not  of  us.  We 
know  that  he  has  a  brilliant  intellect,  that  he  is  a  man  of  wide 
reading,  and  that  he  can  teach.  The  only  question  is,  When  does 
he  teach?  As  an  addition  to  the  throngs  of  Chestnut  street 
promenaders  he  is  a  distinct  success.  His  faultlessly  attired 
figure  may  be  seen  there  almost  any  hour  of  the  day  or  night. 
Perhaps  promenading  is  his  profession  and  teaching  a  mere  avo- 
cation.    Who  can  tell? 

With  the  publication  of  this  ten-year  Record,  our  story  has 
progressed  to  the  second  chapter.  Like  the  serials  in  the  maga- 
zines we  stop  here  in  a  (to  us,  at  least)  interesting  place,  hoping 
after  a  long  interval  to  resume  our  narration  once  more.  As  our 
story  proceeds  to  its  denouement  we  paedagogues  shall  hope  to 
contribute  our  due  meed  of  glory  and  success  to  the  grand  total 
of  the  class.  Some  failures  (being  human)  we  must  have  ;  but 
these,  if  we  toil  on  in  the  right  spirit,  shall  be  an  added  stimulus 
in  our  work ;  and  whether  our  fame  be  small  or  great,  if 
we  realize  our  responsibility  and  seek  to  do  our  best,  with  noble 
ideals  ever  before  us,  we  shall  have  done  our  share  of  the 
world's  work  and  our  labor  will  not  have  been  in  vain. 


NINETY-THREE  IN  BUSINESS 


Ten  years  ago  marked  an  era  in  the  mercantile  life  of  this 
country.  The  World's  Fair  demonstrated  that  America  was 
fast  developing  into  a  power  in  the  business  world  that  had  to 
be  reckoned  with.  That  same  year  Old  Penn  turned  loose  a 
number  of  energetic  fellows  that  have  shown  themselves  a  factor 
in  the  business  affairs  of  this  Great  Republic.  For  the  first  five 
years  after  they  had  cast  aside  the  restraints  of  college  life  a 
number  of  the  business  men  of  '93  were  experimenting  along 
different  lines  until  they  found  the  business  or  profession  best 
suited  to  their  temperament,  with  the  result  that  our  ranks 
were  depleted  somewhat.  However,  the  ones  that  have  re- 
mained true  to  their  calling  have  shown  themselves  more 
capable  in  the  business  world  than  they  ever  were  in  college. 

The  writer  often  recalls  lectures  that  Prof.  Patton  of 
Wharton  School  Fame  delivered  regarding  the  diversification 
of  industry.  How  well  '93  has  proved  the  truth  of  the 
Professor's  statement  is  shown  in  the  careers  of  the  business 
men  of  that  class,  for  the  fact  that  almost  every  industry  is 
represented. 

Now  if  any  member  of  our  class  desires  information  on  the 
following :  Banking,  Real  Estate,  Manufacturing,  etc.,  he  need 
not  apply  to  outsiders.  For  example,  if  any  of  you  have  money 
to  invest  just  call  on  Williams,  Moore,  Morton  and  MacLeod,  and 
they  can  show  you  why  Pennsylvania  Railroad  is  a  safer  invest- 
ment than  Consolidated  Lake  Superior. 

If  he  be  interested  in  town  lots  George  Gummey  is  an 
authority,  and  James  Kendrick  can  give  him   ideas  on  how 

(96) 


97 

to  build  a  Dog  Kennel  or  a  home.  If  any  of  our  members 
desire  to  cultivate  the  arid  lands  of  California  our  fellow 
member,  C.  B.  Smith,  is  an  authority  on  why  California  can 
grow  more  oranges  on  two  trees  than  Florida  can  on  one. 
Now  is  the  time  to  buy  land  and  have  Smith  fertilize  your 
Bank  Account ! 

If  we  should  ever  have  a  Class  Smoker  will  the  Committee 
secure  Clay  Pipes  from  our  fellow  member,  Frank  F.  Welch, 
who  is  an  extensive  manufacturer  of  Clay  Pipes  of  all  kinds ; 
this  member  could  possibly  give  "  Dock "  Kendrick  points  on 
why  a  city  is  better  off  when  the  Councilmen  are  attending 
to  their  own  affairs. 

Having  specified  a  few  of  the  special  characteristics  of 
some  of  '93  men  in  business,  I  must  further  add  to  the  list  the 
following,  some  of  whom  have  already  shown  their  ability  to 
master  the  details  of  modern  business,  namely  :

One  of  our  members,  Clyde  Milne,  could  greatly  increase 
the  popularity  of  his  Steamship  Line  by  taking  us  all  on  a  grand 
cruise  to  Florida  next  winter.  A  trip  of  this  kind  would 
enable  Dooner  to  care  for  our  wants  while  on  shore. 

You  can  see,  fellow  classmates,  how  truly  cosmopolitan 
is  our  class.  Nearly  every  industry  in  the  mercantile  life  of  our 
country  is  influenced  by  our  ability.  The  following  men 
have  clerkships  in  various  Financial  and  Manufacturing  insti- 
tutions :  Morton,  Gross,  Cliff,  Sypher,  Cooper,  Perry. 

The  following  either  own  or  are  in  partnership  in  business 


98 

or  manufacturing :  Davis,  Elliot,  McFadden,  Loeb,  Reeves, 
Dickey,  Busch,  Burr,  Smith,  Strause,  G.  W.  Kendrick,  White, 
Thomson. 

With  such  a  showing  as  this  in  ten  years  it  certainly 
proves  that  the  foundations  laid  while  in  college  have  been 
permanent.  Having  such  foundations,  fellow  members,  let 
us  build  up  characters  that  will  redound  to  the  honor  of  our 
Alma  Mater. 


SPEECH   OF  PRESENTATION,  BY  JOHN   CAD- 

WALADER,  Jr.,   OF  THE   MEMORIAL 

GATE,  JUNE  i6,  1903 


Mr.  Provost  and  Classmates  : 

As  Chairman  of  the  Decennial  Memorial  Committee  of  the 
Class  of  '93,  it  is  my  pleasant  duty  to  dedicate  this  Gate  to  the 
University  in  the  hope  that  generations  of  students  yet  unborn 
may  pass  and  repass  through  it,  and  may  learn  to  feel  the  same 
love  and  veneration  for  our  Mother  Dear  as  did  her  sons  of 
far  off  '93. 

We  feel  that  in  the  brief  ten  years  gone  by,  her  teachings 
and  her  friendships  have  guided  us  and  cheered  us  and  that  the 
ideals  we  got  from  her  have  made  our  pathway  clearer.  And 
so  for  whatever  measure  of  success  we  may  have  won,  including 
that  greatest  of  all  successes  the  conquering  of  self  and  selfish- 
ness, we  make  this  offering  to  our  College  which  taught  us  life's 
true  worth.  And  in  this  gateway  of  the  Georgian  Style,  the 
period  of  the  founding  of  the  College  we  have  this  special 
interest  and  pride  that  it  is  the  work  and  design  of  our  two 
class-mates  to  whose  skill  and  labors  is  due  the  credit  of  its 
completion,  and  the  gratitude  of  us  all.  It  is  a  pleasure  that 
we  have  a  memorial  to  link  us  to  the  past  and  that  although  we 
ourselves  are  gone  from  these  dear  old  scenes,  there  is  now  some 
token  of  our  having  once  been  here.  We  are  indeed  lucky  to 
be  able  to  come  back  to  the  same  scenes,  and  not  like  the 
graduates  of  the  Old  College  on  Ninth  street,  left  at  their 
re-unions  to  wander  as  strangers  in  an  unknown  land.     The 

(99) 


100 

transformation  and  advance  of  the  University  since  its  removal 
west  of  the  Schuylkill  in  1873,  is  wonderful,  and  so  great  that 
we  believe  it  has  the  seed  of  almost  indefinite  development  and 
expansion,  but  I  think  I  voice  the  sentiments  of  '93  in  saying, 
that  our  associations  cling  to  College  Hall,  and  that  any  thought 
of  removing  the  building,  ugly  though  it  be,  is  painful  to  us. 

A  college  boy's  affections  cling  not  to  the  most  perfect 
work  of  art  and  man's  device,  but  often  like  a  child  doting  on 
its  headless  doll,  to  some  old  dingy  room  with  much  carved 
benches,  some  corner  of  the  campus  where  he  sunned  and 
crammed,  some  old  clock  tower  from  whose  peak  his  freshman 
flag  once  waved  triumphant,  to  the  dismay  of  conceited  Sopho- 
mores; and  so  we  would  be  sad  if  '93's  Gate  should  be  the 
portal  of  a  changed  campus  and  a  new  college. 

It  would  somehow  mean  a  difierent  world  to  us  and  not  a 
better  one.  True  the  new  buildings  added  since  our  day  have 
meant  the  revival  of  a  style  of  architecture  that  has  been  the 
glory  of  Oxford  and  Cambridge,  but  whose  practical  and 
sesthetic  advantages  had  never  been  realized  for  an  American 
college,  until  the  master  minds  of  John  Stewardson  and  Walter 
Cope,  names  highly  honored  and  deeply  mourned  by  every 
Pennsylvanian,  showed  us  in  all  its  beauty  and  simplicity  the 
College  Quad.  But  much  as  we  can  appreciate  the  attractive- 
ness of  the  new,  we  are  still  drawn  to  the  homely  old  green  pile 
that  was  the  embodiment  of  our  College.  There  are  glorious 
prospects  before  the  University  and  pride  in  its  achievements  we 
all  want  to  share,  from  the  touchdown  that  wins  a  crowning 
triumph  for  our  team,  to  the  latest  discovery  of  Prof  Goodspeed 
of  the  vast  amount  of  solar  radiant  energy,  ninety-eight  per 
cent,  which  does  not  reach  our  eye,  but  contributes  towards  the 
wonderful  superiority  of  perception  of  the  cat  or  the  mouse. 
And  when  Prof  Goodspeed  discovers  how  we  can  appropriate  a 


101 

little  more  than  the  beggarly  two  per  cent,  of  radiant  energy 
allotted,  we  want  to  be  the  first  to  hail  him  as  the  Power  for 
whom  Burns  and  many  a  true  soul  has  prayed  : 

"Oh  wad  some  Power  the  Giftie  gee  us, 
To  see  ourselves  as  other  see  us. 
It  wad  frae  mony  a  blunder  free  us 

And  foolish  notion  ; 
What  airs  in  dress  and  gait  wad  lea  us. 
And  even  devotion." 

But  there  are  some  kinds  of  modesty  that  come  close  to 
vanity,  and  one  of  these  is  too  prevalent  in  this  community.  It 
is  that  frame  of  mind  that  continually  apoligizes  for  its  sur- 
roundings, its  institutions,  its  companions,  that  of  the  individual 
who  by  deprecating  everything  about  him,  seeks  to  put  himself 
on  a  plane  of  irresponsibilitj^  above.  The  man  who  is  too  good 
for  the  res  angustae  domi  is  not  good  enough  to  have  a  home. 
We,  Pennsylvanians,  and  I  speak  as  a  son  of  the  soil  and  not 
merely  of  the  College,  have  too  much  of  this  deprecating  spirit, 
which  prevents  our  uniting  in  great  enterprises  and  feeling  the 
stimulus  of  concerted  action.  We  waste  our  energies  in  attack- 
ing and  criticising,  and  sceptical  of  intentions  often  lose  the 
sense  of  generous  pride  in  the  success  of  one  another.  Many  a 
distinguished  man  of  Pennsylvania  has  had  his  opportunities 
stunted,  receiving  from  his  own  people  but  a  small  part  of  the 
fame  which  was  his  due,  and  which  the  outside  world  accorded 
him.  What  monument  or  what  statue  can  be  found  in  the 
chief  city  of  their  State  to  such  statesmen  as  John  Dickinson  or 
Robert  Morris ;  such  fighting  heroes  as  Wayne,  Nicholas  Biddle 
or  Richard  Dale ;  such  scientists  as  Rittenhouse,  Leidy  or  Cope ; 
such  lawyers  as  Gibson,  Binney  or  Black,  and  only  recently  has 
any  respect  of  the  kind  been  shown  to  those  benefactors  of 
posterity  to  Franklin  and  Girard. 


102 

The  greatest  good  the  University  can  do  for  the  State  is  to 
bring  its  mixed  population  into  common  associations,  to  teach 
the  men  of  the  great  cities  outside  of  Philadelphia  that  we  do  not 
wish  to  live  separate  and  apart  from  them,  that  we  seek  their 
society,  and  that  the  age  of  Quaker  exclusiveness  is  past.  By 
college  life  and  friendships  best  of  all  can  the  men  of  all  parts  of 
the  State  be  brought  together,  and  the  petty  local  jealousies  be 
smoothed  away  so  that  the  fighting  blood  of  the  English,  Welsh, 
Dutch  and  Scotch-Irish  may  make  connnon  cause  against  the 
low  standards  and  venal  methods  of  the  world  of  business  and 
of  politics,  and  win  a  victory  for  civilization  and  for  human 
rights.  It  is  interesting  to  see  how  a  man  of  the  tough  fibre  of 
Cecil  Rhodes,  a  materialist  one  would  suppose,  unmoved  by 
visionary  impulses  could  feel  the  importance  of  bringing  together 
boys  and  men  of  every  Anglo-Saxon  land  the  world  over,  and  leave 
his  vast  estate  a  legacy  to  unify  his  race.  The  world  has  got  beyond 
the  stage  where  it  was  good  policy  for  one  country  to  oppress 
another,  or  to  hinder  its  advance.  Selfish  and  oppressive  policies 
will  sooner  or  later  overwhelm  the  oppressor,  and  if  we  seek  our 
own  advancement  by  special  privileges,  which  mean  privations 
to  others,  our  retribution  will  be  swift  and  sure,  both  from  the 
sordid  greed  of  those  we  rear  within  and  from  the  hatred  and 
vengeful  spirit  of  those  without.  And  the  selfish  individual 
will  fare  equally  with  the  selfish  community.  Character  is  rarer 
to-day  than  knowledge,  but  its  power  is  as  great,  if  not  greater, 
for  its  possessors  can  be  trusted,  and  what  training  school  to 
develop  manly  character  is  like  a  college  class? 

No  mean  or  selfish  spirit  has  room  for  his  activities ;  as 
Blackstone  says  of  the  air  of  England  that  it  is  too  free  for  any 
slave,  no  sham,  nor  sneak,  nor  trickster  will  thrive  at  college. 
Of  all  the  institutions  of  our  race  there  is  none  that  breathes  so 
pure  the  fierce  free  spirit  of  democracy.     We  have  learned  by 


103 

our  life  here  to  judge  a  man  not  by  the  low  standard  of  worldly 
success,  but  by  the  standard  of  what  he  strives  for. 

I  cannot  do  better  than  quote  the  words  spoken  recently,  by 
our  greatest  private  citizen,  to  the  President,  for  I  think  that 
never  did  experience  offer  greater  encouragement  to  honesty  of 
purpose,  however  close  it  comes  to  rash  experiment.  "Let  us 
not  forget,"  Mr.  Cleveland  says,  "  that  we  owe  something  to  this 
servant  of  ours.  If  any  discredit  fall  upon  him,  his  discredit  is 
ours.  With  American  fair  play  let  us,  gentlemen,  give  him  the 
benefit  of  the  doubt  so  long  as  we  know  that  however  wrong  he 
may  be,  he  believes  that  he  is  right."  Faith  in  our  better  selves 
will  surely  compel  respect.  And  now,  my  Classmates,  we  come 
back  after  ten  years  to  forget  for  a  time  the  hard  facts,  the 
successes  or  failures  of  those  years,  and  for  a  few  hours  to  be 
boys  again,  full  of  incurable  optimism,  that  characteristic 
American  trait,  to  pay  a  debt  of  gratitude  to  our  foster  mother. 
But  what  would  the  University  be  to-day  without  the  Provost  ? 
To  him  more  than  to  any  other  human  agency  are  due  her 
forward  strides. 

Therefore  in  presenting  this  Gate  as  a  tribute  of  affection 
from  her  sons  of  '93,  let  us  learn  by  his  example  a  lesson  of  what 
can  be  accomplished  by  determination  and  whole  souled  devotion 
to  the  work  in  hand.  Knowing  that  we  are  loyal  sons,  that  we 
have  done  something  and  that  we  can  do  more,  we  should  be 
proud  that  the  words  of  our  motto  have  been  justified.  We 
have  found  a  way  if  only  a  small  one  to  do  our  duty  by  our 
College,  and  if  as  Voltaire  says  the  future  is  much  greater  than 
the  present,  by  so  much  greater  as  our  chance  shall  be,  let  us 
work  harder  and  aim  higher  for  the  honor  of  Old  Penn  and  '93. 


POEM  READ    BY   GEORGE  JOHNSON  AT  THE 

PRESENTATION   OF  THE  MEMORIAL 

GATE,  JUNE  i6,  1903 


Feeble  our  voice  to  speak  the  thoughts  that  rise, 
When  comes,  at  last,  the  day,  in  time's  decree, 

To  take  our  classmate's  hand,  and  in  his  eyes 

The  svell  remembered  glance  of  friendship  see. 

We  live  anew  glad  hours  that  quickly  fled  ; 

We  sing  once  more  the  songs  of  long  ago  ; 
We  feel  awake  the  joy  we  reckoned  dead, 

O'erwhelmed  and  lost,  in  time's  resistless  flow. 

Within  these  walls,  round  which  the  ivy  clings, 

We  entered  into  wisdom's  Paradise, 

And  learned  to  know  what  joy  in  knowledge  lies. 
We  found  the  place  of  truth's  perennial  springs, 
Where  the  sweet  choir  of  muses  ever  sings  ; 

Where  grows,  on  wisdom  tree,  the  golden  bough 

And  leaves  all  magical,  that  can  endow 
With  heavenly  radiance  common  earthly  things. 

In  truth  we  have  what  never  more  can  change. 

What's  built  on  truth  can  never  be  down  hurled. 
Who  follows  truth  will  find,  where'er  he  range, 

Her  banner  heavenly  blue  o'er  him  unfurled ; 
And  'neath  its  folds,  there's  nothing  can  estrange 

His  soul,  from  what's  eternal  in  the  world. 

(104) 


105 

We've  learned  to  use  our  noble  heritage, 

The  truth,  passed  down  by  those  who  came,  and  went 
The  road  that  all  must  take  when  life  is  spent ; 

Amidst  the  fretting  toil,  the  shock  and  rage 

Of  life,  we've  found  that  truth  can  disengage 

Our  minds  from  all  that  chains  the  fancy  down, 
From  doubts  that  in  despair  the  spirit  drown, 

From  sinking  'neath  the  burdens  of  our  age. 

He  who  sits  monklike  in  his  narrow  cell. 

Can  never  find  wherein  truth's  secret  lies. 

She  loves  not  in  a  hermitage  to  dwell ; 

Nor  will  she  deign  to  give  her  richest  prize 

To  him  who  lives  within  his  citadel, 

And  all  the  rest  of  her  broad  fields  decries. 

If  truth  is  found  we'll  trudge  along  our  way 

To  meet  our  gain  and  loss,  our  hopes  and  fears, 
Our  toil  to  win  what  fades,  and  disappears 

Like  morning  flowers  that  wither  in  a  day. 

For,  such  things  go  to  make  up  life,  men  say. 
E'en  so :  not  wholly  worthless  is  our  life. 
Not  vain  our  work,  not  valueless  our  strife, 

Nor  because  then  we  die,  now  would  we  play. 

For  though  of  much  the  passing  years  bereave  us  ; 

Youth  comes  but  once,  then  with  its  visions  flies. 
Yet  still,  there's  much  the  years  in  passing  leave  us ; 

For  manhood  sees,  with  wiser  clearer  eyes, 
The  truth  we  hold,  with  joy,  can  ne'er  deceive  us ; 

As  on  we  march  toward  our  sunset  skies. 


106 

We  love  the  place  where  we  first  learned  to  hear 
The  music  of  the  stars  come  floating  down. 

We  love  the  voice  that  sang,  so  sweet  and  clear, 

A  strain  earth's  notes  discordant  could  not  drown. 

We  heard,  and  in  our  soul  we  came  to  know 

We  are  not  atoms  lost,  in  worlds  that  come  and  go. 

We  would  not  with  the  years  forgotten  be, 

In  this  loved  place  replete  with  memories  dear. 

He  would  have  all  remember  Ninety-three, 

And  so,  to-day,  our  columned  gateway  rear, 

To  keep  in  mind  our  name,  thro'  coming  days, 

As  those  who  ever  lived  for  Pennsylvania's  praise.
